Content and Summary Info
Bisexual Content: Michelle Tea (cisgender woman) has had romantic and/or sexual relationships with people of more than one gender.
Intersecting Marginalized Identities: Michelle Tea comes from a working-class background.
Publisher's Summary: As an aspiring young writer in San Francisco, Michelle Tea lived in a scuzzy communal house; she drank, smoked, snorted anything she got her hands on; she toiled for the minimum wage; and she dated men and women, and sometimes both at once. But between hangovers and dead-end jobs, she scrawled in notebooks and organized dive bar poetry readings, working to make her literary dreams real.
